Lindsay picked up an NES controller for the first time at the age of 6 and instantly fell in love. She began reviewing GBA games 20 years ago and quickly branched out from her Nintendo comfort zone. She has has developed a great love of life sims and FMV titles. For her, accessibility is one of the most important parts of any game (but she also really appreciates good UI).
Touhou Project games lean toward the bullet hell genre, mostly because that’s what Touhou originally was. Since its inception, it’s spawned over a dozen titles by the game’s developer. The original developer places few restrictions on his original content, so the game’s success has also resulted in a lot of fan-made works, games of many genres included. For example, last…
